At a house in the country 8 guests are invited to enter a magical wood to see what might have happened had they made a different choice in life. Even though they are warned away from the wood, they take a chance an enter.

Subject: Slow Start, Gets Better
I had a hard time getting into the story. I didn't understand the first scene - apparently the butler is a thief? And I couldn't keep the characters straight. But that all came together later on. It's a thought-provoking piece with just a touch of whimsy to keep it from being too heavy.
Readers were good, but not Tony award performances. I felt that the timing was a bit off (silence between speakers was unnaturally long), but I cured that by speeding up the playback a little bit. :) I'll give it a 4 out of 5.
